The rubber seal has melted and I have tried soaking the jar overnight in a bath of Dawn . I have tried prying with a screwdriver.

acetone?
WD 40 might work.
Maybe WD - 40
Have you tried using heat from a hair dryer? Heat helps items expand, so try to heat the body of the crock near the top. Move the heat around so that it's even and gently try to pry the lid away.
I think you need heat. If you don't have a heat gun try a hair dryer on hottest setting. Work one section at a time and use screwdriver to pry with moving around the jar heating and prying a little at a time.
can you use a hair dyer or somehow heat the seal to make it pliable enough to remove it? then, goo gone might help remove any residue.
